How can I make my boyfriend understand that we need couple time? It is not happening when he has his friend over constantly.

I have been living with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. Our relationship is great, except for his friend. "Kevin" is at our house constantly!!! My boyfriend works different shifts, but if he is home in the evening, "Kevin" is at the house when I get home from work, and is still there when I go to bed! If for some reason, he doesn't come to our house, he invites my bf to come over. I feel like the third wheel in my own home!!! I like this friend, he's my friend too. I just want to know how to get my bf to understand that his friend doesn't need to be here all the time. It's really putting a strain on our otherwise great relationship. Whenever I try to talk to him about it, I get "fine, I just won't have any friends, and I'll never leave the house except for work, will that make YOU happy??"
